Toxic Love

Drunken revelations

The walk to the pub didn't take long. It was about 15 minutes away. Jax held my hand the whole way there and we chatted easily with the others. It was so nice to be out and about with Jax, doing normal things but mostly it was just so good to have my man back beside me, I couldn't bare the thought of ever loosing him again.

When we got to the pub I immediately recognised Tels car in the car park, I pointed it out to Jax and he just smiled knowingly in return. Ha of course he knew, he knows everything. The pub wasn't as big as the one from my birthday, in fact it was strange it had 2 separate doors almost opposite each other with the usual pub benches with umbrellas out front.

I followed Jax through 1 of the doors and quickly realised that it was 2 separate rooms. With the bar in an L type shape between them, you had to go outside to go from 1 room to the other unless you was behind the bar. It was strange. The room wasn't massive, there was a pool table and the usual tables and booths. The room we was in was already half full and on closer inspection I recognised a lot of the faces.

Jax led me up the bar and ordered us both a drink, he paid of course, I hadn't even brought my bag. We turned round so our backs were to the bar, Jax quickly got dragged away by some of people who hadn't seen him since he was released.

I took a sip of my cider and felt an arm snake around my shoulder, I turned to see Tobs and I warmly returned the embrace. Me and Tobs had grown close since the Jamie incident, I knew the others had my back but I know Tobs would always only be a phone call away, like my own personal guard. After all he had been the one who saved me from Jamie, the only one who had seen exactly how desperate the situation had been before he barged in. I owe him a lot.

"Hey trouble maker, how's it feel to have the old man back" Tobs asks me after pulling back from our friendly exchange.

I grin at his nickname for me, we both know I hadn't done anything to cause trouble but I let it go. Tobs or Toby as I now knew him was like an older protective brother, that loved to tease me. "I feel kind of perfect actually Toby". I say with a big cheesy grin.

Toby glares at me, he hates me calling him Toby. I laugh and thankfully he joins in. "Well it couldn't of come soon enough. No one has to endure that miserable, ugly face you've been pulling any more" Toby laughs.

I stick my tongue out at him like a child. We both laugh.

"Now Tobs that's no way to talk to a beautiful women, I don't believe that this face could ever look ugly" I look to the owner of the voice and I don't recognise him, surprisingly he steps forward and gives me a half hug and a kiss on the cheek. I step back, slightly freaked out, as if sensing this the newcomer offers me his hand. "Hi I'm Cam, I recognise you from Jax's pictures, Emma right?" He asks.

I nod and hesitantly shake his hand. "Your Jax's cell mate?" I ask him. He nods and I notice Toby's frowning slightly at the back of his head.

"The one and only" Cam declares with a wide grin "I must say your even hotter in real life" he states.

Oh god I think I'm going to panic. I can't go through another Jamie's situation. I'm freaking out, what is this? is he coming on to me? I give him a small smile. I need to calm myself down, he was just paying me a compliment after all. I need to stop thinking everyone's like Jamie. Just as I'm thinking of an excuse to get away, I feel arms coming round my waist and a head on top of mine, I don't need to turn, I already know it's my badass.

"You giving my missus shit Cam" Jax's says jokingly. I lean back into his arms feeling at home in his embrace.

"Just telling Emma that her pictures don't do her justice bro, got yourself a nice bit of arse here lad" Cam says.
